I applied through a recruiter. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at WorldQuant in Aug 2023
Interview
Applied through recruitment agency for a remote software role. First interview with an Engineer. Two technical questions; one more systems oriented, another straight C++. Second with a Managing Director. Overview of CV. Third with a different Managing Director. First technical question was an easy HackerRank problem. The next was the same C++ question as in the first interview. The interviewer became flustered after I mentioned that I'd already been asked this question. Proceeded to dutifully waste the rest of my evening with small talk till the end of the scheduled interview as they had nothing else prepared. WorldQuant decided not to continue the process further than this. Interview process took 50 (sic) days. Very unorganised.
tough. it asks about edit distance. I was not able to answer on the spot and did not manage to get through the 1st round. the interviewer was nice. I hoped I managed to solve part of it but that was not enough
I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at WorldQuant (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in May 2026
Interview
I got contacted by them through a recruiter via email. asked me to give them 3 available dates. the review was in English with a guy from London. The guy was nice.
It was pretty good, normal SWE process with fundamentals, lc coding and culture fit. I got interviewed for 5 rounds with ppl from different countries, they were nice but I did not get the offer then.
